Introduction

Linux Voice

Akkk, I just broke my system! Linux gives you lots of power and with the power comes danger -- a dysfunctional driver or tweak gone awry could put you on the path to an unexpected troubleshooting headache. But the power of Linux also comes with great versatility and all the energy and creativity of the FOSS community. This month we look at a tool called Resetter that was created to roll back broken Linux systems. Of course, you could always reinstall, or use a rescue DVD to un-tweak a misconfigured configuration file, but Resetter takes a different approach, letting you reset a Debian-based system to its default installation state. Also in this month's LinuxVoice, we show you how to create a podcast with Audacity and build a desktop app the easy way with QML.

The amazing thing about Linux is that it can always take you one step more. You can already play music and edit videos using the powerful tools included free of charge on any standard Linux system, so you don't need a Linux magazine to tell you how to play an MP3 file. But we'd rather help you with the next step.

It's no secret that 2016 has brought a lot of change to the world. The political destinies of both Europe and America have shifted in ways that seemed almost inconceivable just a few years ago, and that's without mentioning the scores of beloved celebrities that are no longer with us. Here in the UK there's been yet another political shift this month, though one we've long seen coming.
